What Hemingway Saw And Felt That Summer

floor, rat eaten shoe
fisherman and lake in tune
dawn, eggs and bacon

I passed through Ketchum
Losing my mind 
Surrounded by talking walls
One drink turns to a bottle
I try to write 
Poetry is poetry 
At the moment I drink surrounded by walls and I write" I was here then I was gone"...

a wedding
      anniversary
of decades
         departed

days of yore
        that are no more
& yet
      as precious
                   still
as dust
    upon
        a butterfly's wings*

  Hemingway wrote

Both gifted and tortured,
  his words they provoke

A verbal combatant,
  new victories untold

His last proving fatal
  —all memory on hold

Avoid needless
complexity
Say it
straight out

Frost and
then Hemingway
Set the rules
down

Between meaning
and verbiage
The idea
is king

Sharpen 
the point
The message
— the thing

Fishery 


He is a fisherman from Guiana
doesn´t do Tonga, but the sea is blue.
His face is a map of America.
He fishes sharks (not Hemingway)
one of them took his arm.
Vengeance is mine, said the lord.
Crap !!! He says
and set red sail for China....

Good Old Earnest. 

Thanks to internet 
Novels are getting longer 
But not better 
A jungle of unnecessary word
A machete comes in handy 

Earnest Hemingway 
Used typewriter and slowly  
Paused for a little drink 
Being economical with words 
So he could go out fishing...

I don't need to be Hemingway...
Or anyone else....
I am comfortable being me
In lust with you....

My poem of a man....
A warrior...
Speaks all I can say
to you....

Golden curls and red lips
So excite me....
In my dreams 
Pearls are my gift to you
As I sleep....So loving....
